What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Westland

It's close to everything. You can be to Detroit or Ann Arbor on a snap. Down town and PARC is just a 5 min drive away.

Going on nice walks in the day. Talking to the neighbors. Watching all the animals in the neighborhood.

It could be the sub par schools, or maybe it's the poor air/water quality. There is nothing overly special or awesome about this area. I witness less crime than I hear about, that's unique.

I love that you I can walk to any conciseness. For instance I need bread I could grab that. If I need a bite to eat I can stop at fast food or all the about. It is small enough that there's not to lay streets.

Nothing is really unique in this neighborhood. There are a few good places to eat like Longhorn Steak house.

Nice area with great neighbors. Co op complex so great amenities at lower costs.close to where I work too.
